Often genes and proteins need certain chemicals, co-factors, vitamins to function.  Or  genes and proteins act on these metabolites to change them into something useful.   <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> This greatly expanded list of  metabolites  and their relationship to  health will soon translate into  better and quicker tests for diagnosing or even preventing disease. <\/p>\n<p> And Dr. Wishart also sees future  applications for plants and animals.  By studying metabolites, scientists  can determine how to modify foods to improve our well being.     This he says will launch a new era in  nutritional studies and bio-products. <\/p>\n<p> <strong> FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY, I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3>David Wishart, PhD, <\/h3>\n<h4>University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, david.wishart@ualberta.ca<\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02007-01-29<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First it was the mapping of the<br \/>\nHuman Genome.
